OT news server woes

AAURRRGGGGH!! The family has been waiting forever for broadband to
hit this area. Finally a company comes in with wireless braodband,
much faster that our old dialup. Sign up, installers come and do their
thing, wow!, look at those pages load. Then I get settled in and find
out they don't do usenet!! I search for a free server and try the one
someone (Rich Z IIRC) recommended in Germany, and they have changed up
their site, no english registration. So I'm trying to get caught up
using Google Groups, but I hate the web based format, they don't offer
ABPF, and no killfile! I didn't realize I was addicted till I couldn't
get on here. Maybe I'll just take up drinking.

Free, but reqiures a cc# for the $3.00 set-up fee.

Here's the English site:

"The truth, which is what elections are all about,
is that the tax burden of the middle class has
gone up while the tax burden of the middle class
has gone down," - John Kerry

I went cable and had the same problem. I went with the link above
new.individual.net and it works great. I have no complaints.

Thanks to all for the links, I got my username and password from
news.individual.net after just 5 days! I'm bummed that I can't see all
the great pics I'm used to at ABPF, but I can read and post here,
hopefully without the 3 to 6 hour delay I found on Google.
